How we handle bath resealing in Ridgeway
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We are frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ridgeway, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why it’s worth resealing in Ridgeway
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Ridgeway questions
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
